Agree with you Andy, I've given up with the Korda ones and just stick to baitworks

I've only just started to listen to them and must say enjoyed both Jon Timmermans and Dave Gawthorn. One which I think would be entertaining would be Rob Maylin, especially if he was talking about Savay

For me the issue (and similar for other pods) is it's mostly just another middle aged white man talking about the good old days and how they went after named fish. Feels like the history review has been done to death. Plenty of other topics and interview approaches they can take rather than just discussing a persons biography. Plus how about some diversity in guests?

Yeah I totally agree.

Does anyone happen to have the number for any non white, one legged, vegan, lesbian carp anglers that have caught some of the biggest carp in the country over the last thirty years?

Can you let Korda have their number please.

Sorry I was just being silly. I'm fully aware that if that person existed they would have already been given their own series on the bbc.

Agree to a certain extent, but the White Male thing is unavoidable as that's the people that go Carp fishing in my experience, very rare to see anyone from another demographic doing what we do.

The format of telling us about how they freelined side hooked spuds, then were the 2nd person on the Hair Rig blah blah blah has been done to death.

Maybe some guests that are talking about the more modern Angling (not bloody spinner rigs etc) that's going on or some of the venues we don't here much about now days like Raduta for instance would be great, maybe a 3 pod series with a certain angler that has a specific Angling style, that way the interview is broken up to early years, development of their tactic and so on.
I'm sure the Gardner Podcast was trying to go down this route but seems to have stopped now for some reason which is a shame.

Maybe it's not just the presenter in this instance more a mixture of the content not evolving and the presenter not being too inspiring making a perfect storm!?

For me the Baitworks one is top of the tree at the moment, they have a bit of general chit chat (just life), have a bit of banter, talk a bit of outdoor life and fishing, have the odd feature which they've changed over time and get a decent guest in.

It's odd as I'm really happy with the bait I use at the moment and feel no need to change but if I did I'd probably start using the Baitworks gear purely because of how genuine these fellas come across on their Podcast, and they very rarely even mention the company.

I hate to admit it, but ive basically done exactly that. I'd been looking to change baits for a little while but wasn't going to take the plunge, however after speaking to a few friends with a bit of knowledge on the subject, along with listening to the Baitworks podcast, I decided to go for it and look at their range.

Haven't really had long on them yet so wouldn't like to comment on them however I am confident they'll do well after a few tank tests. The longest I tend to get on the bank is 24hr, and the leakage from their baits, particularly the monster red is phenomenal

I only have the Baitworks, podcast on auto downloads on the app these days, I like the format of presenting the guests are usually not so high profile but have been there and got the t-shirt I enjoy listening to the stories that you haven't necessarily ever seen in print or can see what the angler has had for dinner on Instagram for the last ten years.

I occasionally watch the Nash and Korda ones now on YouTube if the guests are of interest.

The same as the Carpcast podcast, i use to pay for the plus subscription when i reality the free one was better, in the end i got fed up with Jamie constantly slagging off jim Shelley and Nash.

I always enjoy the Baitworks podcast but can only listen to on every so often.

I didn't mind the Nash one but Hassan really grates on me.

See I really enjoyed the CarpCast, although truthfully never subscribed as I only found it around the times it started to get a bit hit and miss as far as releasing episodes went. I very nearly joined when they did their 'comeback' and promised 40 episodes that year 😂

I suppose it must be graft putting these things together, and if you really aren't feeling it then you won't be producing good content. I also can't fault Jamie for much rather spending his summers across Croatia and Ibiza 😂😂😂

I heard Jamie won £100k in a poker game last year. That would keep you going a while if you're happy with a simple life.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
